Sonic Intelligence
Our patented Sonic Intelligence signal processing technology was developed using knowledge provided by our field service engineers from real application data. Siemens Milltronics instruments offer the unique advantage of this technology. Sonic Intelligence differentiates between true echoes from the material and false echoes from obstructions or electrical noise. The sophisticated software is continuously updated and supported by field data gained from more than 500,000 ultrasonic and radar level applications. This in-depth knowledge and experience is built into the softwares advanced algorithms to provide intelligent processing of echo profiles. The result is repeatable, fast, and reliable measurement you can trust.

ur unique inverse frequency shift approach to capacitance technology ensures accurate, reliable and repeatable measurement, even in dusty, turbulent, and vaporous environments, or in situations with product build-up. Because even a small level change creates a large change in frequency, our instruments provide better resolution and consistently outperform conventional devices. With special features such as tip-sensitive probes, Active-Shield technology and modular probe options available on various models, they offer practical solutions to a wide variety of point level, continuous level, and interface measurement challenges.

Communications solutions

SIMATIC PDM software

IMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a manufacturer-independent software tool for the operation, configuration, parameterization, maintenance and diagnosis of intelligent field instruments. Based on the EDD standard, it can be used independent of a specific automation system via a PC or programming device or as an integral part of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process automation system.

HART
ART is a serial transfer protocol which is used to transfer additional parameter data, such as measurement range, configuration, to the connected device through a 4 to 20 mA power loop. The main process variable is transmitted via the 4 to 20 mA power loop. SIMATIC PDM can use this protocol to communicate configuration data to an instrument. Siemens Milltronics offers HART as an option on many of our level products.

SmartLinx
Optional communications cards

martLinx provides direct digital connection to commonly used industrial communications buses with true plug-and-play compatibility. Cards are available for PROFIBUS DP, Modbus RTU, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, DeviceNet, and Modbus RTU Modem. SmartLinx modules are fast and easy to install, and can be added at any time. For use with SITRANS LU, MultiRanger, HydroRanger and SITRANS LUC500.

Core functions include: Set-up and modification of parameters Comparison Plausibility checks Data management Commissioning functions SIMATIC PDM offers communications via HART, PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS PA or other protocols. See www.siemens.com for up-to-date product list.

Remote data monitoring with Levelwatch.com

Dolphin Plus

Flow Reporter

evelwatch.com unlocks data at remote sites and distributes it for use in making business decisions. Using measuring equipment such as ultrasonic, capacitance, radar or other instruments, readings are taken at the remote site. A Levelwatch.com unit connects this field data using landline or satellite to a secure web site. The system monitors status, tracks trends, and sends alarms directly to designated personnel by phone, fax, page, or e-mail. Alarm details are available on-line. Levelwatch.com provides the tools for a valueadded inventory management service as vendors monitor customer inventory levels and can anticipate demand and optimize delivery schedules. Manufacturers can also monitor bulk material levels to ensure a supply for continuous production, with no more running out or emergency deliveries. Siemens Milltronics products can be connected via their Modbus ports, allowing access to key operational parameters, such as pump setpoints, and pump or flow totalizers.

olphin Plus is instrument configuration software for: SITRANS LU SITRANS LUC500 It helps you configure, monitor, tune and diagnose most Siemens Milltronics instruments either remotely from your desktop PC or connected directly in the field using a laptop. Just load the software from the CD and in minutes you can set up or modify complete parameter configurations for single or multiple instruments in the Windows environment. After configuration, you can edit parameters on the fly, upload and download parameter sets to and from disk, and use parameter sets saved from other instruments. You can also work with echo profiles for fine-tuning without the need for special instruments.

low Reporter is a Windows-based configuration software and data extractor for use with the Milltronics OCM III Open Channel Meter. From a remote PC, it permits you to: Monitor and troubleshoot flow readings collected by the OCM III View and modify parameters Connect to OCM III either directly or with a modem host computer can be any distance from the flowmeter Seek out specific data using the relational database Upload data logs from the OCM III Review past and present data logs in a database environment Export summary information and data to a spreadsheet program Print daily or monthly reports
